The rest of the people shared the same doubt too. Alexandra shook her head and said, “I don’t know either.”Rachel held Alexandra’s hand and asked softly, “Sweetie, since he’s the man who married into the Carters, how does he get to be with you then? Isn’t he cheating in that sense?”“He’s already gotten a divorce from his wife.”Upon hearing that, Rachel and Victor exchanged glances. They were both relieved for a moment, yet Alexandra heaved a sigh immediately before saying nonchalantly, “I lied to both of you about something. Zayn and I aren’t dating. We’re just platonic friends.”“What?”Everyone in the Smith family could not help gasping aloud. …After getting out of the hotel, Zayn and his group of people were immediately surrounded by numerous people downstairs. The vast majority of these people were guests from the party earlier. Despite leaving the party early, they did not leave the location immediately. Instead, they were waiting outside the hotel despite it already
Thomas shouted so loudly with excitement apparent in his voice. The expression on his face was fervent as if he was meeting God Himself. His reaction startled the people in the surroundings whereas the bombshell standing next to him was dumbstruck in bewilderment as well. Indeed, Thomas had noticed Zayn. After all, Zayn was right in front of him, surrounded by the numerous experienced business owners who were flattering and cajoling him. Since Thomas shouted so loudly and he was standing nearby, Zayn heard him. Upon hearing the voice, Zayn looked over and met Thomas’s eyes. Complicated emotions flashed in his gaze for a moment, then he shifted his gaze and pretended not to hear him. Strictly speaking, he was no longer Thomas’s brother-in-law now because he had already gotten a divorce from Faye. As a result, he pretended not to hear Thomas in order to avoid disrupting Faye’s life. Nevertheless, that was not the case for Thomas. He was obviously aware that Zayn had already not
“There are a lot of attention-seekers out there these days.”Thomas felt awful upon hearing that. He attempted to explain himself with great effort, but no one believed him. Even the bombshell who idolized him previously was looking at him with a strange gaze. She felt that he must be bluffing, so her attitude toward him turned much colder. In the end, she made up an excuse and left. Thomas felt even more terrible when this happened. He was so aggrieved that he was inconsolable. He hastily went home in a rush because he wanted to clarify with his sister and find out why his brother-in-law refused to acknowledge him. Moreover, his brother-in-law had not returned home in so many days. His instinct told him that something bad must have happened. As a result, he rushed back home as fast as he could to clarify the situation!Zayn hopped into Mr. Hyde’s car and left the hotel while Sean and Hector followed from behind. Zayn never expected Thomas to be here. He felt very uneasy being ca
“What’s going on with Zayn?” Faye clutched Thomas’s shoulder vehemently. She clutched him so tightly that her nails dug into Thomas’s flesh and made him grit his teeth in pain. “It hurts, Faye. It hurts!”Faye could only loosen her grasp on Thomas. She had no idea why she was so agitated beyond her control. Her voice was tainted with anger as she demanded, “Can you please finish your sentence in one go!?”Thomas was terrified by her angry roar. His neck retracted in fear and he spoke, aggrieved, “I came running home, didn’t I? I haven’t caught my breath yet.”Ruby said from the side, “Stop blabbering and quickly tell us what happened. Did that deadbeat Zayn get himself in some trouble again?”Thomas swallowed a gulp of saliva then inhaled a deep breath conveniently to soothe his breathlessness. Then, he said, “Faye, I saw Zayn. He was at Waltz Hotel…Oh, right, Faye, why hasn’t Zayn come home for the past few days?”Upon hearing Thomas’s question, Faye’s heart was overwhelmed wit
After he said that, the three family members were completely stunned, especially Ruby and Waine. The two of them were completely dumbfounded as their eyes were wide open, unable to believe that whatever had just been said was true!It took Ruby a long while before she finally said, “Thomas, you must’ve been mistaken. How could a deadbeat like Zayn be some kind of largely influential figure?”Waine was also expressing his doubts on his face. ‘How could we not be clear about what Zayn’s background is, especially after he’s married into the Carters for four years?’Faye was the only one who shook her head stiffly as she kept it lowered. Furthermore, she was also filled with a bottomless complex expression at that moment.Frankly, deep down within Faye’s heart, she actually believed what Thomas had said, even if just a little.However, the more she felt that way, the more unhappy she was about it.Thomas tried his very best to make his point go through as he said, “It’s true! Why wou
In an indoor swimming pool located in a luxurious villa belonging to the Carters, it was clearly snowing heavily outside which caused the temperature to be chilling to the bone. However, the villa, which was more than 2000 square meter and wrapped within a huge barrier, was as hot as a summer’s day. This was because there were highly efficient heaters placed in every direction, continuously heating up the place. Hence, this was what caused the indoors of the villa to seem as if it was a summer’s day.At the time, there were more than a dozen young women swimming in the pool.Furthermore, on the beach chair next to the pool laid a man whose fair complexion was literally glistening and filled with elasticity. Furthermore, he had attractive muscular lines that are much more pleasant to look at than most body-builders. The main reason for that was because his muscles were filled with explosive energy. The man was enjoying having four extremely beautiful women serve him, where two of them
‘Right now, I can easily crush a 30cm-wide tree with my bare fists.’It was snowing particularly heavily at that moment, covering the surrounding area in a blanket of white.In that chilly environment, two figures leaped about as they engaged in an intense fight.Footprints covered the area one kilometer around them. With every step, the footprint left would quickly be covered by the heavy snowfall, only for another footprint to be made moments later.The two of them were moving at extremely high speeds, surpassing the limits of most people. Thankfully, they were in a rather remote location with few passersby. Anyone that came across them would have been thoroughly shocked by the sight and might even think they were seeing ghosts.“I concede.”After 10 minutes, the two figures finally stopped. Zayn’s fingers were wrapped around Mr. Hyde’s neck and his fingernails had already dug into his skin, causing him to bleed a little. All it would take to slit his throat neck was for Zayn t
Zayn’s heart wrenched when he saw that familiar face! He began breathing rapidly and his mind immediately went blank!As it happened, Zayn was driving at 60km per hour. In his momentary daze, he almost drove into the car ahead of him. He was so shocked that he hurriedly braked and ended up half a meter away from the vehicle in front.His sudden stop shocked the surrounding people including that ‘familiar figure.’Coincidentally, Zayn’s car had ended up right beside that figure, who was staring right at him. Thankfully, Zayn’s windows were tinted, so outsiders were unable to see whatever was happening inside. Thus, although she was looking in his direction, she was not able to see Zayn and merely raised an eyebrow unhappily. ‘This guy is speeding so recklessly. He nearly splashed the dirty water on the ground onto my pants.’When Zayn realized that he was being stared at by this ‘familiar person,’ he felt anxious all of a sudden.He quickly relaxed when he realized that she was una
